Rome and Rhetoric - Shakespeare''s Julius Caesar

Zusammenfassung Renaissance plays and poetry in England were saturated with the formal rhetorical twists that a Latin education made familiar to audiences and readers. Focusing his attention on Julius Caesar, the author demonstrates how Shakespeare so wonderfully made these ancient devices vivid, giving his characters their own personal styles of Roman speech.
